What Makes Coloured Diamonds Different From Other Colourful Gems Like Rubies, Sapphires, And Emeralds?

So, you know how diamonds are usually colourless? Well, coloured diamonds are like the rebels— they come in all sorts of colours!

But what makes them so different from other colourful gems like rubies and emeralds? Well,  coloured diamonds are still made of pure carbon, just like regular diamonds. The difference is that they have tiny imperfections or trace elements that give them their colour.

Like, did you know that pink diamonds get their colour from tiny defects in the diamond's structure? And yellow diamonds owe their colour to nitrogen? It's pretty interesting!

Now, let's compare them to other colourful gems. Rubies, for example, are made of corundum (aluminum oxide) and get their deep red colour from chromium. Emeralds, on the other hand, are made of beryl and owe their vibrant green to trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. Sapphires, also made of corundum, come in a range of colours due to different elements.

And what's the big deal about coloured diamonds?

• They're super rare— more than it's colourless popular version. 
• Because of their unique composition— only carbon
• They're also incredibly durable— still a 10/10 on Moh's scale 
• Exhibit the same diamond sparkle!
